Precautions for Preventing Access to the Camera by an Unintended Third Party The camera may be accessed by an unintended third party on the network, depending on the usage environment. Changing the user name and password of the camera administrator from the default settings is highly recommended for security reasons. If the camera is accessed by an unintended third party, there may be an undesired effect, such as operations or settings to block monitoring, etc.

The camera can be fraudulently accessed in a network environment where a device is connected or connectable to the network without the administrator's permission, or a PC or other network device connected to the network can be used without any permission. Connect to these environments at your own risk. To prevent unauthorized access to the camera, set it according to the following steps.

Do not use the browser you use to set the camera to access other websites while you set or after setting the camera. You will remain logged in to the camera as long as the browser is open, so to prevent an unintended third party's use or execution of malicious programs, close the browser after you finish setting the camera.

How to set up

1 Set the network address of the camera using SNC toolbox.For details about how to use SNC toolbox, refer to the application guide.After this step, do not use SNC toolbox to change the network settings of the camera. Use SNC toolbox to search for the camera only.

2 Start the web browser and set the SSL function to Enable in the camera settings.For details, refer to “Setting the Security — Security Menu” in the Administrator menu on page 27

3 Restart the web browser and access the camera again.

4 Set the user name and password of the administrator of the camera.For details, refer to “Setting the Security — Security Menu” in the Administrator menu on page 27.

5 Check the Referer check checkbox.For details, refer to “Setting the Security — Security Menu” in the Administrator menu on page 27.

Hereafter, use the camera using the SSL connection. If you use the FTP still image sending function, the SSL function will be disabled, and communication content will not be coded. Do not use the FTP still image sending function if the camera is at risk of unauthorized access.

Note

The model on sale in China does not support the SSL function.

Note

The function may not operate correctly if you use personal firewall software or antivirus software on your computer. In that case, disable the software or select the TCP mode.

1 Select Unicast, Multicast, TCP or HTTP from the Connection drop-down list in the Other panel.

Unicast: When Unicast is selected, RTP (Realtime Transport Protocol) is adopted for video/audio communications. Since RTP is the protocol for running video/audio data, the video/audio playback is smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If a firewall is installed between the camera and the computer, or depending on the network environment, video/audio may not play back properly when Unicast is selected. In this case, select TCP.

Multicast: When Multicast is selected as the transmission port, RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) and UDP multicast techniques are adopted for video/audio transmission. By selecting it, the network transmission load of the camera can be reduced. If a router that does not correspond to a multicast or firewall is installed between the camera and the computer, video/audio may not play back properly. In this case, select TCP or Unicast.

HTTP: This is normally selected.When HTTP is selected, HTTP communication is adopted for video/audio communications. HTTP is the protocol usually used for reading webpages. In an environment capable of reading webpages, you can watch or listen to video/audio by selecting the HTTP port.

TCP: When TCP is selected, use the port number specified in RTSP port number (page 25) for operating the video/audio communications.

Notes

• When connecting via a proxy server, neither Unicast nor Multicast can be selected.

• Select HTTP to use the SSL function.• When the image codec is set to JPEG, HTTP is

selected for the connection.

Private key information corresponding to the certificate is stored in the camera.You do not need to install an external certificate.However, you cannot execute the existence proof, which is one of the SSL functions, for the following reasons.– The private key generated in the camera is self-

signed by the camera.– A prepared value is set for a distinct name

(Common name, etc).– The certificate is not issued by a trusted CA.

For reasons of security, we recommend using this mode only when there is no problem even if perfect security is not saved.

IEEE 802.1XConfigure the wired port-based authentication in compliance with the IEEE 802.1X standard.

Notes

• To use the IEEE 802.1X authentication function, you need knowledge of the IEEE 802.1X authentication and digital certificate. To establish an IEEE 802.1X network, you need to configure the authenticator, authentication server and other elements. For details on these settings, refer to the manual of the corresponding equipment.

• When using the IEEE 802.1X authentication function, always configure the settings after setting the date and time of the camera. If the date and time are incorrect, port authentication may not be performed correctly.

System configuration of IEEE 802.1X network The following figure shows a general system configuration of an IEEE 802.1X network.

SupplicantA supplicant is a device that connects to the authentication server to join the network. This camera serves as a supplicant in the IEEE 802.1X network. The supplicant can enter the IEEE 802.1X network after appropriate authentication by the authentication server.

AuthenticatorAn authenticator forwards certificate request data or response data that the supplicant or authentication server issues to the other party. Normally a hub, router or access point serves as an authenticator.

Authentication serverAn authentication server has a database of connecting users and verifies whether the supplicant is a valid user or not. It can also be called a RADIUS server.

CA (Certificate Authority)A CA issues and manages certificates of the authentication server (CA certificates) and user certificates. The CA is essential for certificate-based user authentication. Normally a CA is located inside an authentication server.

Note

This camera supports EAP mode, in which the supplicant and the server authenticate using the

IEEE 802.1X

EnableSelect the checkbox to enable the IEEE 802.1X authentication function.

EAP methodYou can select the authentication method used with the authentication server. This device supports TLS and PEAP.

TLS: By this method, the supplicant and the server authenticate each other using a certificate. This enables secure port authentication.

PEAP: By this method, an EAP password is used for the supplicant authentication and a certificate is used for server authentication.

EAP identityType the user name to identify the client in the IEEE 802.1X authentication server.

EAP passwordA supplicant EAP password must be input when PEAP is selected with EAP condition. The password can contain half-width characters and the length should be within 50 characters.

CA certificateYou can upload a trusted CA certificate (server certificate or route certificate). Only the PEM format is supported.

Note

The upload will fail if the selected file is not a CA certificate.

The client computer can then obtain the IP address of the computer to be connected.

Frame rateThe number of frames of a moving image that can be transmitted per a second.

HTTP portA port used to communicate between the web server and the web client, such as a web browser.

H.264An image compression format. The standard written by the JVT (Joint Video Team) a joint organization for standardization (composed of ISO and ITU-T. H.264), is capable of transmitting video data at a higher compression rate than that of MPEG4.
